"new" truck
 
Traded my Impala for this 02 Silverardo 2wd. I plan on losing the tails for some stock ones and taking off the chrome fender trim.

Looks good to me, I agree about the tails and fender trim... not my style either.

Looks pretty good -- I think step one and step two are the same things I'd do. I'd go to a set of 03+ tails...and I think a set of the newer LTZ wheels would look great with that color combo.

Is it a 5.3?

I've already traded the "euro's" for a set from an 04 GMC I'll post up pics when I take some.

I kinda like the the stock chrome wheels I'm going to run them for a while til something comes along :lol:

Yup it's a 5.3 auto with a G80 :metal:

Welcome to the other side!! Good looking truck! I've been loving mine. Almost don't miss the OBS anymore.

Your plans sound good. Don't forget to add a suspension drop to those plans.

I don't think I could live without my OBS! It's part of the family ;)

No drop for this truck......well maybe lower the back to match the front but thats it.

No drop! Come on, just a little. Definitely level if nothing else. Keep us updated.

Re: "new" truck
 
I'm guess i can lower the back just like I first did one my OBS lowering shackles?

EDIT: HMMMM http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts/lo...MCGLE6211.aspx

*ducks* I actually like the chrome wheel trim, I think it looks good on the 2wd trucks.

The 4x4's looks cool with the stock fender flares.

But yes, those taillights are terrible.

Re: "new" truck
 
Well in my wifes words "broke it to the white truck" thats there's another truck at the house :lol: (the OBS is parked in another garage)

I also took off that awful fender trim and swapped out the tails.
